@25849, Longwilli, ich sehe das anders als die KI und das scheint Toroama genauso zu sehen. Die Lizenz ging an ein Unternehmen aus Bougainville, weil er BCL als ausländisches Unternehmen mit Altlasten sieht. Siehe dazu den folgenden Artikel. Gefällt mir so richtig gar nicht diese Entscheidung.

THE Autonomous Bougainville Government (ABG) plans to award the redevelopment licence for the Panguna mine to a Bougainville-owned mining company, President Ishmael Toroama announced during Bougainville Foundation Day celebrations in Lae, describing the move as crucial to the region’s economic independence.
President Toroama said the Bougainville Executive Council had recently approved changes under Part VII of the Bougainville Mining Act 2015, paving the way for greater local ownership and participation in the redevelopment of the mine.
"A Bougainville-owned mining company will be given the redevelopment licence to operate in Panguna," he said.
He said economic independence needed to go hand in hand with Bougainville’s political aspirations, arguing that control over natural resources is essential for sustaining an independent nation.
Toroama said the government envisioned landowners and a Bougainville-owned company working together to redevelop the world-class copper and gold mine, which had remained closed since civil conflict erupted in 1989.
He also acknowledged the presence of Bougainville Copper Limited (BCL) but said legacy issues surrounding the mine
needed to be addressed first.
"As we acknowledge BCL as a foreign company, let BCL address all legacy issues in Bougainville," he said.
"They have to compensate all the people in Bougainville surrounding the Panguna mine."
The Panguna mine was once among the world’s largest open-cut copper mines and a major contributor to Papua New Guinea’s economy before operations ceased during the Bougainville crisis.
Toroama linked the mine’s redevelopment to Bougainville’s broader push for self-determination following the 2019 referendum, in which 97.7 per cent of voters chose independence.
He said Bougainville was pursuing two parallel pathways: political independence through the National Parliament’s consideration of the referendum outcome,
and economic independence through greater control of its key resources.
"Our people have decided their future. The people have spoken plainly, loudly, and clearly, saying that they want independence," he said.
Toroama urged national leaders to respect the democratic wishes of Bougainvilleans, saying the region’s future rests on both constitutional processes and economic self-reliance.
The announcement signals the ABG’s determination to place Bougainvilleans at the centre of future resource development as the region advances its political and economic aspirations.
